Give Thanks

With Thanksgiving right around the corner (how can it be here already?!), I decided it was time to make a card that gives thanks. The color combo at The Paper Players went perfectly with the stamp sets and theme I had in mine. I also used the layout from retrosketches.

I was excited to pull out the FREE stamp set that I got at Regionals last weekend. That makes 3 out of the 5 stamps in the set that I have used! Not too bad considering I have owned it for less than a week. I love it when I find myself using all of the stamps in a set, not just one or two.

I used the rock-n-roll technique on the technique on the leaves, cut them out and spritzed them with Crumb Cake Shimmer Spritz that I made. I know, you are probably sick of hearing about this stuff! I'm not kidding...go make some and try it. You will be addicted too! The middle leaf is popped up on a Dimensional for an added layer. I didn't have any twine that coordinated so I made my own by sponging More Mustard ink on white Baker's Twine. This is a great way to get twine in any color you want. It works with white ribbon too!

I adore this card, Shana! The rock 'n' roll technique is perfect with these colors and the leaf--it looks like you just picked them up from your yard. Fabulous use of the sketch too...Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players!
